OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Oh my goodness! I got a call from my SR again this morning. He had to go do something for his security clearance and when he was done they let him make a call. What a surprise that was! I'm so glad that I took my phone with me while I was walking (13 miles today!) He said that his RDC's are pretty cool and really hopes he gets to stay with them. He had a couple of ingrown toenails removed and is concerned that they may give him some problems. I was told he put a letter in the mail on Sunday, so I can't wait to get my first handwritten note from him! Hearing from him definitely put a little skip in my step and made my walk so much happier!!!

DMansMom..... very cool that you got a call and very cool that you walked 13 miles! You go girl! I also carry my phone out and around like a nursing baby! Just in case.. Unlike you, I have not gotten so lucky. What ship and Div is your Sailor in?

He's Ship 14 Div 259. Since we got a quick call on Saturday, I didn't think we'd hear from him again until next weekend, maybe! I guess I was lucky and I've definitely learned to always have my phone on me.....no matter what!! :-)

I heard from my husband because the recruiter didn't fax over some of the right information for my son to be put on insurance. He said that they should be making their first calls this weekend-no promises, but I hope that helps you! :)

My son is Divison 14 Ship 260. I received a letter today!!! He had to have his wisdom teeth pulled even though he had no trouble with them before he left. I hope to have a call soon. He is a strong individual though parts of that letter made me cry and parts made me laugh.But I am a mom and he sees things differently. He is no longer my boy but well on his way to being a man.
